Allied Race Intro Text - Highmountain Tauren
Patch 7.3.5 adds some dialogue lines for the Highmountain Tauren Allied Race intro.

Summoned to the Embassy
Players are summoned to the embassy to choose between the Highmountain Tauren and Nightborne as the first Allied Race to pursue.

Nathanos Blightcaller - The Dark Lady instructs you to meet me in Orgrimmar.
Nathanos Blightcaller - Information has come to light crucial to the interests of the Horde. It is imperative we remain a step ahead of our rivals.
Nathanos Blightcaller - Meet me outside Grommash Hold. Keep this quiet... or the consequences will be swift and severe.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner - You have observed our operations in Silithus. Clearly the Alliance is doing everything in its power to undermine our efforts.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner - The Horde's selfless leadership in the war against the Legion has left our ranks depleted. Our enemies slaver at the thought of stealing what is ours. We will not let them.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner - I've authorized the building of an embassy in Orgrimmar. From it, we will win others to our cause. Meet me there at once.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner - Leaders of the Horde, I summoned you here--along with one of our greatest champions--because our enemies are gathering their strength.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner - The Alliance is scouring the far corners of Azeroth in search of every advantage against us. We must do the same.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner - War is coming. We need fresh blood added to the ranks of the Horde. What say you?
Baine Bloodhoof - Warchief, the tauren of Highmountain fought boldly alongside us in our campaign against the Burning Legion, just as our ancestors did long ago.
Baine Bloodhoof - I have invited their leaders to a great feast in Mulgore. This could be a chance to bring them to our side.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner - A simple people, but strong. They would be a boon on the battlefield.
Lady Liadrin -I too have a suggestion, Warchief. The sin'dorei have maintained diplomatic ties with the nightborne since we helped liberate Suramar from the Legion.
Lady Liadrin -The regent lord and I agree that our kingdoms have much in common. We believe the nightborne would make valuable allies.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner - Even without the Nightwell, Suramar holds vast arcane resources. A most useful arrow added to my quiver.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner - Each option would have its uses. I believe (player) knows both these peoples. Which potential ally do you suggest we pursue first?

Highmountain Chosen

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner - Chieftain Bloodhoof, have our champion join you for your feast in Thunder Bluff. By the time dessert is served, I want their oath of loyalty to the Horde.
Baine Bloodhoof - It shall be so, Warchief.

Thunder Bluff Feast

Baine Bloodhoof - Thank you for coming, Mayla. It is my honor to welcome you to Mulgore.
Mayla Highmountain - Your invitation was most kind, Baine. It is time for our two peoples to renew our bonds of kinship.
Baine Bloodhoof - It is of kinship that I wish to speak. I hope that--
Spiritwalker Ebonhorn - I should never... have left... the mountain...
Mayla Highmountain - Ebonhorn! What dark force grips you?
Baine Bloodhoof - I know this power all too well. Champion! We need your help!
Mayla Highmountain - I must get Ebonhorn back to Highmountain at once!
Baine Bloodhoof - Until we discover what's behind this attack, Mulgore will never be safe. I will come with you, Mayla. Let us face this darkness together.

Defending Thunder Bluff

Uul'gyneth - Destroy them! They must not hinder my return!
Spiritwalker Ebonhorn - Mayla... the pools...
Mayla Highmountain - I understand, my friend. Baine, I must get Ebonhorn back to Highmountain.
Baine Bloodhoof - Very well. We will drive this Old God filth from Thunder Bluff.
Baine Bloodhoof - Your masters will not take my city, monster!
Baine Bloodhoof - We will drive your shadow from Mulgore!
Baine Bloodhoof - Hahahaha! It feels good to swing my mace again!
Baine Bloodhoof - Thunder Bluff will be free of you!
Baine Bloodhoof - Go back to the void that spawned you!
Baine Bloodhoof - Go to Highmountain and aid Mayla, champion. I will join you soon.
Baine Bloodhoof - I must be certain the Old Gods' minions are driven from Mulgore.

Saving Spiritwalker Ebonhorn

Mayla Highmountain - The waters have soothed Ebonhorn, but I fear he is slipping away.
Mayla Highmountain - Ebonhorn is not well. We must find a way to bring him back from the brink. Speak with Spiritwalker Graysky. I believe he can help.
Mayla Highmountain - I will remain here while Graysky aids you. Pray that restoring the wards will mend Ebonhorn's mind.

Spiritwalker Ebonhorn - The whispers... they have stopped. Thank you, champion, Graysky.
Spiritwalker Ebonhorn - My mind is my own again. Return to Thunder Totem, champion. Let us gather strength for what is to come.

Baine Bloodhoof - Champion! Graysky told me of your courage.

Uul'gyneth Backstory

Mayla Highmountain - But our work is not done yet. Ebonhorn, we must know what this Darkness wants.

Spiritwalker Ebonhorn - Follow me, champion.
Spiritwalker Ebonhorn - Long ago, the Old Gods sought to lay claim to Highmountain. Their campaign was led by a terrible general... Uul'gyneth the Darkness.
Spiritwalker Ebonhorn - Huln gathered heroes from among the tribes to stand together. They fought against Uul'gyneth's servants, the Necrodark... but the forces of shadow were too great to overcome.
Spiritwalker Ebonhorn - So Huln devised another plan. Wards were placed to lock away the Old Gods' influence. Though the general survived, Uul'gyneth's essence was trapped.
Mayla Highmountain - So the Necrodark have been lurking in the shadows, waiting to call forth their master.
Spiritwalker Ebonhorn - Indeed. And when I left the mountain to visit Mulgore, the wards weakened just enough to let the Darkness take hold.
Spiritwalker Ebonhorn - The last ward was placed at Highmountain Summit. That is where we must go. Just as Huln stood with his allies, so we must band together.

Uul'gyneth - Yes... come! Your strength will become ours, child of darkness!
Baine Bloodhoof - Child of... What does he mean?
Spiritwalker Ebonhorn - I... cannot say. Mayla, you and I must go on ahead. Baine, you and our champion gather the others and meet us at the summit.

Uul'gyneth Battle

Uul'gyneth - This mountain belongs to us, mortals. You will soon become vessels for this world's true power!
Spiritwalker Ebonhorn - These heroes do not stand alone.
Spiritwalker Ebonhorn - Together, we will banish your darkness!
Uul'gyneth - You will serve us, dragon, just as Neltharion did! Your kind always bends to the whispers.
Mayla Highmountain - I cannot let the Darkness possess my father's body!
Baine Bloodhoof - Mayla! We must stand together!
Uul'gyneth - Serve your true masters, drogbar! Your defiance means death!
Uul'gyneth - The Skyhorn shall serve my masters! You will become the shadow that darkens the skies!
Uul'gyneth - The Legion was nothing compared to our power! Surrender!
Uul'gyneth - You have failed! The Darkness rises... and Highmountain shall fall!
Uul'gyneth - The wards have weakened! He will be ours!

Uul'gyneth Defeated

Spiritwalker Ebonhorn - I am free from the Old Gods' grip. Thank you, my friends.
Baine Bloodhoof - I did not realize that I had invited a dragon to feast with us at Thunder Bluff. Had I known, I might have set a bigger table!
Spiritwalker Ebonhorn - Only Mayla and our champion knew my secret before. Now I entrust it to you as well, chieftain.
Baine Bloodhoof - I see no reason for anyone else to know, spiritwalker. Let it be a matter kept... between friends.
Mayla Highmountain - Today was very nearly a dark day for Azeroth.
Mayla Highmountain - Had Uul'gyneth's plan succeeded, we all would have been made into servants of the Old Gods... including Ebonhorn.
Spiritwalker Ebonhorn - I shudder at the thought, Mayla. Without the swift action of Baine and this champion, all would have been lost.
Mayla Highmountain - Baine Bloodhoof, you have demonstrated courage, honor, and loyalty. I believe it is time for your people and mine to renew our bonds of kinship.
Mayla Highmountain - If you will have us, the tauren of Highmountain would be proud to join your Horde.
Baine Bloodhoof - The Horde will be honored to welcome you! Let us travel to Orgrimmar and share the good news with our Warchief.

Highmountain Tauren Join the Horde

Baine Bloodhoof - Warchief Sylvanas Windrunner, I present Chieftain Mayla Highmountain.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner - What have you to say, chieftain?
Mayla Highmountain - Warchief, the strength and courage of the Horde has been demonstrated by Baine Bloodhoof, as well as your champion.
Mayla Highmountain - From this day forth, Highmountain vows to stand with you against all foes.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner - I accept your oath of loyalty. The Horde offers its protection... and expects your obedience.
Baine Bloodhoof - For the Horde!
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner - For the Horde!
Mayla Highmountain - For the Horde!

Highmountain Tauren Player Intro

Mayla Highmountain - For many ages, our people have called the Broken Isles home. We know little about the Azeroth that exists beyond our shores.
Mayla Highmountain - It is time we changed that.
Mayla Highmountain - Today you begin a new journey. You will be our voice in the lands beyond the mountain.
Mayla Highmountain - Go to Orgrimmar. Meet our new allies and learn what it is they care about... what they fight for.
Mayla Highmountain - Stay true to who you are. And should you ever miss your home, know that Highmountain is here for you. Always.

Dark Leagcy Comics #611
DLC #611 has been released!

[Nerraw]

Gotta say I'm a little surprised 10/11 was reached so fast.

[Korru]

Now if we see a character creation UI update in the PTR, I'm sure allied races will come as a pre-order bonus.

[Wries]

Relatable DLC

[Dimmune]

Gotta say I'm a little surprised 10/11 was reached so fast.

Same. I haven't touched Antorus but my hope is it wasn't under tuned or the fights we're just that simple.

[Deleted]

After ToS, this raid is a piece of cake.

[A Dark Knight]

For the Horde!

[arcaneshot]

Same. I haven't touched Antorus but my hope is it wasn't under tuned or the fights we're just that simple.

Frankly Aggramar really isn't that tough; the Coven and Kin'garoth are more difficult. Aggramar is like playing a revision of Ragnaros.

[Toubacos]

Imagine a Chinese World First raid completion That would truly be a world first since they usually get content later due to modifications to models/areas having to be made before it's released there.

[Xilurm]

"Nathanos Blightcaller - Meet me outside Grommash Hold. Keep this quiet... or the consequences will be swift and severe."

Is he retarded?

[Felixon]

"Nathanos Blightcaller - Meet me outside Grommash Hold. Keep this quiet... or the consequences will be swift and severe."

Is he retarded?

Nah,just bitter and dead.

[Vargulf the Happy Husky]

can't wait to eat a highmountain tauren. i hear their meat is better than TB tauren

[athrun7189]

Same. I haven't touched Antorus but my hope is it wasn't under tuned or the fights we're just that simple.

hahahahahaha
pathetic

[Kingoomieiii]

STARS from China got world-first Alone in the Darkness (yogg+0). Though that was before the content split I believe

So, the highmoutain tauren are betraying the Alliance who saved their land and lives, like the nightborns.
Remind me to never sacrifice myself to help people.

Only in Stormheim do you go as a representative of your faction. Highmountain, Suramar, Azshara, and Val'sharah are all done as a representative of your respective Class Order. You did not help the Highmountain Tauren as a member of the Alliance, you helped them as the Highlord of the Silver Hand if you were a Paladin, as an example.

I still can't understand, where do they datamine all of this in 7.3.5 ?
I mean, why there's this kind of stuff added in 7,3,5 if allied races are to be added in BfA?
Does this mean they are going to add some allied races in 7.3.5? Or otherwise why would they just publish this kind of stuff early in 7.3.5 yet?

Why were Demon Hunters added in WoD?

I kind of expected Highmountain and Lightforged to pull the kin cards. However, still kinda shocked that Nightbourn/Dark Irons/Velf's weren't given the panda treatment. I only mention DI as a neutral since their race used to be based on treachery and being brutal. Not to mention, once Moira's kiddo grows up, that leaves room for a power struggle/internal conflict within the council of three hammers.

High hopes I guess.

[Hellrime]

In a shocking turn of events, the Warchief Sylvanas is under investigation for insensitive comments against the mentally challenged. In a quote directed at Baine Bloodhoof, she was on record as saying "A simple people, but strong. They would be a boon on the battlefield.". We attempted to reach Baine for comment but their camp has declined.
